View Full Version : Can't login after the upgrade to Kali linux 2.0
I'm having a problem after the upgrade attempts, no luck. Upgrading an up-to-date Kali 1.1 to 2.0. but hey, I'd like to get it fixed just ~because~.
This may not help anyone, but here's what I'm seeing.
Attempting to boot gets me to a grey frowzy face screen:
Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
A problem has occurred and the system can't recover.
Please log out and try again.
I have two cards installed
Nvidia
Intel
After reading the X.org error I found that there is an error which is "No screens found", I've tried uninstalling the gdm3 and the xorg.conf but nothing happened.
I solve the problem by removing the Nvidia drivers.
after the black screen I click the ALT+CTRL+F1 and after that use this code
apt-get remove nvidia* --purge
and after that
reboot
it works fine
Hello my friend ..
I had the same problem
And I fixed it this way ..
First u need to boot to recovery
And plug ethernet cable to your laptop/pc
Then .
Apply .
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
And erase all sources and past this
deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free
Then Ctrl x
Y
Enter
Then apply
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
And I wish it will help u
None of the options helped me :(
I don't have any nvidia driver (coming from a vmware machine) and no luck after adding the two src lines (I already had the others).
Any help?
It happened after I dist upgraded to 2.0.
Finally ,no need of startx i think i have a solution When logout error appear just press
(Ctrl+Alt and F1 or F2 )
And enter your previously used root username password or create another user and after that run this command
# vi /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf (use sudo for non root user )
And change it
AutomaticLoginEnable=false
AutomaticLogin=root or user1 (if u create a new user and want to login from it)
To
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=root or user1
Finally ,no need of startx i think i have a solution When logout error appear just press
(Ctrl+Alt and F1 or F2 )
And enter your previously used root username password or create another user and after that run this command
# vi /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf (use sudo for non root user )
And change it
AutomaticLoginEnable=false
AutomaticLogin=root or user1 (if u create a new user and want to login from it)
To
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=root or user1

Psysin, thank you. This works.
I have been do so many apt-get install/remove/update/upgrade/dist-upgrade/purge/autoremove commands that I'm surprised the system works at all.

Simple solution, worked perfect! Thanks
cd /etc/X11/ if there are xorg.conf . and rename it .
if not resolve , apt-get install lightdm
and dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 change gdm3 to lightdm .
if still not workable ,
apt-get remove gnome-shell .
reboot .
and them apt-get install gnome-shell and gnome-core .
hope this can help you .
